THE N W YORKER tUlned the answer up In the COUlse of an intensive investigation they Inounted as soon as they got our carn1ine-dye report. They found the explanation in the hospit"tls' 1.1boratory procedul e. The ll llal approach to a1n1onella de- tection in those L:lboratorils was sero- logic, but their diagnostic process ell1- braced only Groups 1-\ through E. A sahnonelLl in Group G could escape detection. It wouldn't even be recog- ni7ed lS a sahno11el1.L So it was entirely possible that our twent) -one cases of S. CUha}lfl were not the only cases in tOW11. l"hey were l11erely the onl) ca<;es diagnosed as such. But how did our out ide L1SC get their infection r M r tlnSWel is onl" a guess-it couldn't be an) thing else-but I'n1 inclined to think it's the truth. ()ur èÀperience set in 1110t1on a series of Investigations by val ious state lnd federal agencies. ']"'hc Center fOI I)isease Control and the ]Tood and I) rug ..-\dlninistration were p.lrticuLl rh lctive. They found C lr- l11ine d, e con t.unina ted with S. cubana throughout the countf\, and several outbreaks identic tl with ours. ..Ax that point, of course, the s.:de of carl111ne W"lS ha1tld, lnd tl1 hospit ds and other llsers were warned about its dangers. l"'he investigators dso found that the use of calïnine d) e was not lin1ited to hospitals-or even to n1edicine. It was also used lS l coloring agent in nu- 111erous foods and drugs. The Investi- gation showed that the i\l11erican Inanufacturer sold carn1inc to twent}- eight fond cOl11panies, ten spict' COl11- panics, thirt) -th ree pharn1aceutical con1- p"lnies, SeVen COSl11et1c con1panies, and fifty-six less spc:ciali7ed cOlnpanies, and the cont l111inat<:d products thev found included candy, chewing gUl11, pI eserv- atives, seasonings, l11eat, ice crean1, and tOll1ato eÀtracts. Incidentally, the pres- ence of carn1ine d) e in these products was not noted on the label. The labe 1- ling law .:lppli-?s onl} to artlficial color- ing agents. \ V ell, I think that answers the question. Not every pel son eÀposed to sahl10ne 11.:1 ge ts <;ic k, hut those cases of ours were highly susceptible pcople. 1 ll1can, thev Were alre.:Ld) sick." Dr. Kunz says : "We had an ex- planatIon for everrthing except l11Y Santa Claus specÏ111en. I think I can explain how the original specil11en was contal11inated. Carl11ine dye was not one of its ingredients, but it was the main ingredient of the hlood sal11ple that the jokers also I11dde. I talked to thel11 again, and it seel11S probable that a swab that was used to stir the blood speCI111en was later used to stir the other specil11en. So there .was a certain al110un t of carl11ine in the original Santa Claus specimen. But there was 79 P y the f(ìendlý eas of Cruis-AdeÎ It's more than a luxury twin-hull yacht- it's a way of life!
